Chelsea’s Cafe’s liquor license has again been revoked because of a recent appellate court ruling.The local eatery and popular late-night locale was cited for operating as a bar without the proper licensing after a Jan. 22 raid and lost its license after an April court ruling to reinstate the license was overturned.Gov. Bobby Jindal signed an act in August clarifying the legal definition of a restaurant as serving more food than alcohol on a monthly basis.”The first circuit of appeals has said that the suspension of our liquor license is now reinstated,” said Dave Remmetter, owner of Chelsea’s Cafe. “The original suspension handed down by the [Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control commissioner] was for a year.”Chelsea’s stopped serving alcohol in light of the ruling, Remmetter said.After the license was revoked in January, a judge ruled Chelsea’s could continue serving alcohol, Remmetter said. The ATC filed an appeal which was overturned this week.The original ruling from the ATC in January barred Chelsea’s from serving alcohol for a year, Remmetter said.”The ATC has the majority of control in the matter,” Remmetter said. “If the suspension goes on for a year, it’s essentially putting us out of business. We can’t go a year without having alcohol and live music here.”When their license was previously revoked, Remmetter said Chelsea’s did not suffer from a significant loss in business  to support from loyal customers. If the appeal remains in place, Remmetter does not anticipate losing business for lunch, but said he thinks the size of the dinner crowd will dwindle.”You can’t chop two legs of a three-legged business and expect it to survive,” Remmetter said. “We can’t live on lunch alone. We need nighttime business in order to stay in business.”ATC Commissioner Murphy Painter was unavailable for comment.————Contact Lindsey Meaux at [email protected]
